“I’ve always been an open book with my fans,” Dion reportedly said in a statement. It further read, “With [Taylor’s] sensitivity and thoughtful creativity, I think that Irene will be able to show everyone a part of me that they haven’t seen before. I know she’ll tell my story in the most honest and heartfelt way.”
The French Canadian singer, who began recording in her early teens, has been called The Queen of Adult Contemporary, and is best known for singing the Oscar-winning ballad from Titanic, My heart will go on.
